The weekend!

This weekend Scott took the girls out to play in the snow. We have tried before but it was to cold and they only lasted a minute before they wanted to come back in. They had a lot of fun.

Steven's First Hair Cut!

All my children seem to grow mullets and they are so cute because they are curly. I let them grow out with the girls but Scott thought it was time to cut Stevens mullet off.

You can't even tell from the front that he needed a hair cut and we didn't get pictures of the back.

He didn't like it at all!

He looks even more rascally now!

Happy Valentine's Day

I usually like to make sugar cookies and frost them to take to the neighbors but this year the girls wanted to make chocolate chip cookies. We had a lot of fun making them and then the girls and I made Valentines for some friends. Malaya has a crush on Jeremy and Natalie has a crush on his older brother Daniel. It is really funny. So they made them Valentines and we delivered them. Poor Daniel was so embarrassed. He is almost 11 and Natalie is 3.

Mr. Stevers helping out!

Today is Malaya's preschool Valentine's party. She picked out a cute outfit and asked me to fix her hair special. She was so excited to give her teacher a Valentine. I love this kid so much! She is way to much fun!!

On a side note, my baby has decided that it is more fun to sword fight with his silverware than to eat with it...and daddy doesn't help much. He sword fights right back. They are super cute.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!

Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome!

Since I had Natalie I have struggled health wise. For almost an entire year after she was born I had to be careful when changing positions or I would get dizzy and light headed and potentially black out. When I first went to the Dr. they took my blood pressure and it was really low. Then the testing began. We did MRI's, blood work, I saw a Cardiologist and had an EKG, a cardiogram, when I was in the shower I had to go from really hot water to really cold water several times to "strengthen the arterial muscles". After lots of testing they told me to increase my salt and my water. That seemed to help for a while but this last week has been really bad again. So back to the Dr. I went.

In all honesty I was completely terrified. It was a here we go again kind of moment. I recently changed Doctors and so I was sure it would be all the same tests and no answers. After talking to him for a few minutes and a form of legalized torture where the had me lie down and then quickly stand up while monitoring my heart rate he said her was pretty sure I had POTS syndrome. Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. Finally after 3 years of testing and wondering a name and a treatment. I get to take salt pills and if that doesn't help they have another medication that I can take. We still have a few test to do, but it has a name and I am not just crazy.
